Thirty-nine Bloody Smell

Zhang Xiong then rushed to the front. When he saw Yin Wen being plucked by Zhang Fei two spears, the corners of the mouth were covered with red blood. He immediately turned red and shouted at Fan Qiang and Zhang Da who were standing aside: "Go together!" The long halberd in his hand had stabbed towards Zhang Fei's chest with a bitter sound. Fan Qiang was awakened by Zhang Xiong's loud shout. He looked at Zhang Fei's tyranny and remembered the humiliation he had suffered at the time of Zhang Fei, and couldn't help but feel cold all over. Suddenly, he roared out of his chest, held the long knife in his hand tightly, jumped up, swung the long knife and slashed towards Zhang Fei. Looking at his momentum, he seemed to want to cut Zhang Fei into two halves with one knife to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Zhang Fei sneered disdainfully, shaking the spear in his hand to block it, but Yin Wen hugged the spear tightly. He didn't shake it open. In a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiong's long halberd had arrived, and Fan Qiang's long sword also slashed to the top of his head with a roar. He was shocked and dragged the spear back twice. Zhang Xiong's long halberd pierced into his breastplate with a sneer, but only stabbed into the tip of one spear, and the momentum was over. Fan Qiang's long halberd also slashed through his breastplate, making a harsh scratching sound, bringing up a series of sparks and splitting two nail pages.

When Zhang Xiong saw that the halberd fell, he was furious. He gritted his teeth and pulled the halberd back and trembled his hands and stabbed again. Fan Qiang fell in front of Zhang Fei and knelt down on one leg. He didn't have time to get up. With the momentum of rushing forward, the long knife cut half a circle and slashed at Zhang Fei's legs viciously, giving Zhang Fei a chance to counterattack.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to take another step back and let Zhang Xiong and Fan Qiang attack together. He was so angry that he growled and roared, and with both hands, he raised the spear with Yin Wen and danced in the air. Yin Wen couldn't hold the spear, and slid down along the handle of the spear, just landing on Zhang Fei's back. His gaze was already covered in blood, and he couldn't see what was in front of him. He didn't care about it, so he hugged Zhang Fei's neck, shook his legs halfway, and turned around and wrapped around Zhang Fei's waist.

Zhang Fei was furious and was about to smash Yin Wen's legs. Zhang Xiong's long halberd stabbed again. He had to take Yin Wen on his back, take a step forward, and use Yin Wen on his back to block Zhang Xiong's long halberd. At the same time, he kicked and kicked Fan Qiang hard in the chest that was about to get up.

Fan Qiang's chest seemed to be hit by a mad bull, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out, soaring into the air. Then he was swept into the air by the spear in Zhang Fei's hand. He turned in a direction in the air and threw out the city wall. Before falling to the top of the city, he tried his best to throw out the long sword in his hand, kill a guard beside Zhang Fei, and then landed heavily under the city, and was in awe on the spot.

Zhang Xiong was about to stab Zhang Fei, but he saw Zhang Fei pointing Yin Wen on his back at him. He couldn't help but be afraid of hurting Yin Wen with one move. He quickly pulled back the long halberd. With just this, Zhang Fei had already regained the opportunity. After one spear shot Fan Qiang down the city wall, the handle of the spear rebounded and stabbed Zhang Xiong three times in a row.

Zhang Xiong was shocked and danced the long halberd in his hand, and took Zhang Fei's three spears. Zhang Fei's strong penis was surging, and his qi and blood were surging. His arms were sore and he could hardly hold the long halberd in his hand. He stepped back quickly. The guards beside him rushed up to protect him, waved the long sword in his hand and slapped at Zhang Fei's chaotic blade.

Zhang Fei killed Fan Qiang with one move, forced Zhang Xiong to retreat, and seized the opportunity. The momentum was greatly boosted. He whistled, and the spear in his hand seemed to be spiritual, like a shadow, followed. Zhang Xiong refused to let go, twisting his body from time to time, using Yin Wen on his back as a shield to block the Cao army's weapons. Although he was carrying Yin Wen, his body movements were as flexible as nothing. In a blink of an eye, he made five steps in a row and expanded the battle circle again. Behind him, the personal guards formed a defensive formation, tightly protecting both sides of him, and working hard to expand the victory.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Xiong roared repeatedly, shook his arm hard, tightened the long halberd in his hand, and gritted his teeth and went up again. Zhang Fei sneered repeatedly, the spear trembled, and in a blink of an eye, killing more than ten Zhang Xiong's personal guards. A spear hung on Zhang Xiong's long halberd branch. With a low roar, Zhang Xiong felt a great force coming, and he could no longer hold the long halberd. The long halberd suddenly flew with his hands, and the empty door on his chest was exposed.

"Sir!" The guards were so anxious that the two guards rushed up at the same time and protected Zhang Xiong. Before they could stand firm, Zhang Fei's spear had already reached their sight, and they stabbed two big holes in their necks almost in no particular order.

"Kill--" Zhang Fei shouted loudly, and took a step back. He turned his left hand over his shoulder and grabbed Yin Wen's shoulder armor, and pulled it hard. Yin Wen used his legs and tried hard to pinch Zhang Fei's waist. The two of them tried for a while. Zhang Fei could not pull Yin Wen away with one hand, and the guards around him were afraid of hurting Zhang Fei, so no one dared to step forward and use a knife to chop Yin Wen.

Although Zhang Fei was strong in physical strength, he was carrying a living person on his back. After a long time, he really affected his flexibility. Seeing that he could not pull Yin Wen off, he shouted so much that he took a piss of blood. He stepped back and hit the city wall. When Yin Wen was hit by him, he felt that his internal organs were about to be smashed, and he opened his mouth and sprayed blood.

"Yuzhang--" Zhang Xiong was anxious. He pulled out the long sword from his waist and rushed forward, regardless of the blood in his hands. He was as powerful as a mad tiger. The long sword slashed left and right, killing two Zhang Fei's personal guards. Then he was hugged by another person, and two long swords followed him.

"Kill--" Zhang Xiong dragged his long sword horizontally, and the blade slashed across the neck of the soldier holding him, knocking a long sword, but was slashed on the shoulder by the long sword. He reached out and held the long sword tightly, and the long sword flipped backwards. The sharp long sword suddenly cut the soldier's chest. The soldier looked at his chest that was bloody like a spring, then looked at the long sword in Zhang Xiong's hand, and took two steps in a row, turned over and fell to the city. The blood spurted out dyed Zhang Xiong red.

"Yuzhang--" Zhang Xiong saw Yin Wen being punched twice in the thigh by Zhang Fei, and his right leg was twisted into a strange angle. He could no longer hold Zhang Fei's waist. He yelled in a hurry and turned around and shouted to Zhang Da who was still shaking: "Are you stupid, can't you get it?"

Zhang Da woke up like a dream. He wiped his face, screamed strangely, rushed up with a knife, and slashed his head. The guard behind him rushed up. Seeing that Zhang Da was coming up, Zhang Fei was even more anxious. He grabbed Yin Wen's shoulder armor with his backhand and tried to pull him down again. Yin Wen was already confused. He had the strength he had generated from somewhere, hugged Zhang Fei tightly with both hands, opened his mouth and bit Zhang Fei's ear.

"Ha——" Zhang Fei roared in pain, raised his hand to throw out the spear, grabbed Yin Wen's legs with both hands, and hit back with all his might. The spear was like lightning, flying over ten steps, and suddenly passed Zhang Da who was about to rush over. The strong impulse caused Zhang Da to take two steps back. Then he looked at the tail of the spear in his chest, opened his mouth and spit out two mouthfuls of blood, turning over and falling.

Yin Wen was hit by Zhang Fei again, and blood was squeezed out of his nose. He could no longer hold Zhang Fei, let go, and leaned against the city wall and fell to the ground. Zhang Fei covered the ears of the bloody arrow with one hand, grabbed a long sword with the other hand, turned around and looked at Yin Wen who had already fallen to the ground with a vicious look, and raised the long sword high.

Just as the long sword was about to fall, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if all his strength was lost in a blink of an eye. Everything in front of him was shaking, and even his footsteps could not stand firm. He shook twice, letting go of his hand weakly. The long sword fell to the ground with a "danglang". He tried hard to stand firm, but he felt his body was light, as if he was stepping in a pile of clouds.

The blood arrows in his ears spurted out through his fingers, forming a bloody mist. Zhang Fei let go of his hand and reached his hand in front of him, but he felt that his eyelids were very heavy and he could not see his hand clearly. He suddenly grinned, opened his mouth and let out a wild roar, and fell heavily on his back to the ground. His heavy body hit the city wall, making a loud "bang" sound.

Zhang Fei is dead.

The soldiers on both sides who were fighting were stunned all of a sudden. Zhang Fei's personal guard, who was as powerful as a child, couldn't believe his eyes. The brave Zhang Fei was actually dead? How could this be possible? Even Zhang Xiong was a little unbelievable. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looked at Zhang Fei who was lying on the ground, and then looked at Yin Wen, who was leaning against the city wall, with blood on the corner of his mouth, and could not even open his eyes, but he suddenly sang aroused. He blurted out: "Zhang Fei is dead... Zhang Fei is dead..."

The soldiers on both sides were awakened by his voice. The Cao army soldiers were stunned for a moment, and they were filled with joy and their morale. However, Zhang Fei's personal guards were completely exhausted and were killed by Cao's army to retreat step by step. They didn't even know how to rob Zhang Fei's body, so they retreated in panic. Zhang Xiong pulled a messenger over and shouted loudly: "Hurry, run along the city wall, and you will say that Zhang Fei is dead."

The messenger nodded blankly, turned around and ran a few steps, suddenly felt something was wrong, he turned around and looked at Zhang Xiong, then looked at Zhang Fei lying on the ground, and immediately ran along the city wall, shouting loudly while running: "Zhang Fei is dead... Zhang Fei is dead..."

Soon, the news of Zhang Fei's death spread throughout Longyang City. Xiang Tiao, who had already attacked the city wall with his soldiers, was stunned when he heard this. He was still a little disbelief. He looked carefully at the direction of Zhang Fei's main attack and found that Zhang Fei's battle flag was gone. Only then did he believe the rumors about Cao's army. He dared not fight again and hurriedly retreated from the city with his people.

Zhang Fei's troops retreated like a tide. Xiang Tiao had just collected the team and had not had time to retreat, two thousand Xiliang cavalry had already reached the city. Xiang Tiao immediately knocked down the banner and surrendered without saying a word.

Yan Xing and Pang De and the Iron Cavalry were about to rush out from behind Xiangdiao and defeated his back formation in one fell swoop, but they were puzzled when they saw him surrender. In the uncertain situation, they swept past both sides of Xiangdiao and easily cut off a layer. Then they circled a circle far away and set up the attack formation again in the distance.

Seeing that the Iron Cavalry charged, Xiang Tiao cut off his two wings and killed no less than 500 people. He was frightened and did not dare to fight again. He immediately sent someone to Yan Xing with a white flag to rush to Yan Xing, and Pang De's formation to express his intention to surrender. Yan Xing and Pang De looked at each other, and they couldn't believe their ears. Just here, Cao Chong also rushed to the city.

Cao Chong couldn't believe it, and it was not until Zhang Xiong left the city and told him that Zhang Fei was dead that he suddenly realized.

Zhang Fei lay quietly on the city wall, with a pool of blood in his ears. The accompanying doctor was nervously treating Yin Wen. Yin Wen was seriously injured, but miraculously did not faint. Instead, he became clear and clear. He saw Cao Chong strode over and wanted to say a few words, but he just pulled the corner of his mouth and wanted to raise his hand to salute, but only two fingers could move.

"Yuzhang, don't move." Cao Chong strode to Yin Wen, squatted down and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Yin Wen's mouth, turned his head to the sweaty doctor and said, "How is his injury?"

The doctor wiped the sweat beads that were big on his forehead and replied nervously: "General, Lord Yin's injury is too serious. His thigh fracture is still a small matter. What's worse is that five of his ribs were broken, and at least one of them pierced into the lungs. I'm afraid..."

Cao Chong raised his hand and blocked the doctor's words. He said in a cold voice: "No, I'm afraid, I must save him. He's fine. You are promoted to the third level and rewarded ten thousand yuan. If he has something to do, you can bury him together." The doctor was surprised. They followed Cao Chong for so long and had never seen Cao Chong speak so fiercely. The sweat beads that had just been wiped immediately poured out again, bigger and rounder than before.

"Yuzhang, it's okay. You must hold on. I'll get promoted and ask for a title." Cao Chong said solemnly to Yin Wen. Yin Wen picked up the corner of his mouth, and tried hard to show a smile, and nodded gently. Cao Chong stood up and just moved away from the place, several doctors who were sweating profusely rushed over immediately, surrounded Yin Wen, and carefully discussed the treatment methods.

"General, Chief Secretary urgently reported." A messenger rushed up the city tower, rushed to Cao Chong and knelt down with one leg, holding up a letter with three scoundrels with his hands high. Cao Chong looked at the letter, but did not reach out to take it. He stared at the three red marks on the letter, feeling a little breathless. The three red marks were the most urgent signs. What could be the most urgent? Is it a good or a bad thing?

He took a deep breath, took the urgent item, hesitated for a while, and slowly opened the snow-white rice paper. He swept two lines quickly, a smile extending from the corner of his mouth, slowly spreading to his entire face, and the nervousness just now swept away. He laughed, quickly finished reading the urgent item, and read it again from the beginning, and then he said to the generals surrounded by a little proudly: "Everyone, let me tell you a good news. Wei Wenchang successfully attacked Quanling. Pang Changshi and the others had already controlled Lingling. Now they are in the Linxiang City. Let us surround Zhang Fei and rush to meet. Which general is willing to work hard to come to Linxiang to help Pang Changshi take Linxiang and establish this last battle?"

When everyone heard this, they forgot to ask for a fight. They looked at each other and their hearts were finally settled. Cao Chong smiled slightly, turned around and walked to Zhang Fei's body, threw the secret letter in his hand on Zhang Fei, and said in a sarcastic tone: "You have a high opinion of yourself and want to hold my army with all your strength, but I didn't expect that Liu Bei was no match for me at all. He had already escaped far away and could not even enter the territory of Changsha. Alas, you are still fine. You finally died in Changsha, and he was in trouble. I'm afraid that even Changsha will not be able to see him in this life, and of course you can't expect to return to his Zhuo County."

…………

In the mid-November of the winter of the 16th year of Jian'an, Cao Chong led his troops to encircle and annihilate Zhang Fei's army in Longyang City. Zhang Fei died in battle and surrendered to Tiao. Then Cao Chong led his troops south to Linxiang, Changsha County. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Changsha Prefect Liao Li had no choice but to go out of the city to surrender. Cao Chong took all Changsha County. In early December, Fa Zheng and Deng Ai sent back news that they pursued Liu Bei to Shi'an County (now Guilin City) and met the Guan Yu army who came to meet. The two sides fought several bloody battles, and each had their own victory or defeat. Then Liu Pan's troops were ambushed by Guan Yu's daughter Guan Feng in Yangshuo Mountain due to impatience. He suffered heavy losses. Three thousand troops were rescued only more than 500 people. Because of their lack of military strength, their terrain was not familiar with the terrain, and the food transportation line was too long. They had retreated to Shi'an to defend and asked for instructions on the next action.

Cao Chong was a little annoyed. Liu Pan repeatedly tried to fight with Liu Bei and did not take military orders seriously. This time he finally defeated all three thousand personal troops. He discussed with Pang Tong, feeling that it would be unfavorable to the existing side in the current situation. Taking advantage of the current situation, it was not a big loss yet, and it would be a good thing to stabilize the formation in the Shi'an area first. Then he ordered Deng Ai Fazheng to temporarily lead Liu Pan's troops and lead Xu Yi and Zhang Wei troops to station in Shi'an. Fazheng and Liu Pan returned to Linxiang to report their duties.

At the end of December, Fa Zheng and Liu Pan, who was dejected, returned to Linxiang. As soon as he saw Cao Chong, Liu Pan knelt down and apologized. Cao Chong scolded him fiercely, erased the general who was still Liu Biao's conferred, and demoted him to the lieutenant, so that he could go back to Xiangyang to think about his mistakes. Liu Pan didn't care much about his official position, but he was afraid that Cao Chong would no longer let him beat Liu Bei, and he wanted to say it but was embarrassed, but he just refused to leave with a coward. Cao Chong was both angry and funny, and waved his hand and scolded, "Since you don't want to leave, don't leave. Follow me as a personal guard for a while, and then go to lead the troops when you return to Xiangyang."

Liu Pan was overjoyed and went out happily. Since Cao Chong asked him to lead his troops, he would have the chance to kill Liu Bei again. During this period, he followed Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and Deng Ai to fight one after another. He had learned what military tactics mean. He used to fight in You County, Changsha, but compared with these people, his moves were too rough and could only deal with those rough people. Therefore, Taishi Ci was defeated when he came. It turned out that there was still something wrong with his military tactics. After he suffered this loss, the original arrogance suddenly restrained a lot. He decided to calm down and learn some military tactics after going back.

Seeing Liu Pan leave, Cao Chong cursed a few times, turned around and said to Pang Tong with a smirk, "Shi Yuan, you not only drove Liu Bei out of Jing Ke this time, but also eliminated the power of Yizhou. Speaking of which, I should reward you. But if you reward you, these hands and feet will be too obvious, so you still have to suffer a little grievance. This soldier cannot be brought for the time being, so I should come back to be my chief secretary."

Pang Tong laughed: "General, don't worry, I can see this clearly. Besides, I don't have much interest in fighting, so I'd leave it to others. What's going on in Guanzhong? The war here is coming to an end for the time being. Should you also go back to Yecheng?"

Cao Chong nodded: "The war in Guanzhong is said to be going smoothly. Although there is no definite news yet, there should be a breakthrough in the near future. My brother will definitely return to Yecheng to report his merits. Of course, I will also go back to Yecheng, so you can follow me and go again."

"This is natural." Pang Tong smiled and stroked his beard, looking at Cao Chong with a little meaningful meaning: "This war has captured a lot of Liu Bei's subordinates. I wonder what the general plans to arrange it?"

Cao Chong smiled: "Xiang Juda's father, son, uncle and nephew have surrendered. They are from Xiangyang. Xiang Juda hopes to return to Xiangyang to run the family business and keep his two nephews. I have agreed to them. As for Liao Gongyuan (Liao Li), the prefect of Changsha, he was originally appointed as the prefect of Changsha, although he didn't have a long time, and he still did a great job. He seemed to be a good administrator. I plan to let him be the prefect of Changsha, but according to our constitution, the military power will be cancelled. I plan to leave Han Sheng in Changsha Guanbing. By the way, I also looked at Sun Zhongmou in Jiangdong. As for Uncle Mi Zi (Mi Fang), he is the uncle of Big Shuang and Xiao Shuang, and he has made contributions to us in taking Quanling. No matter what, he cannot treat him badly. But there is no suitable position for the time being. I plan to let him go to Xiangyang to cooperate with Xi Su. Zhang Da and Fan Qiang died in battle. Ma Youchang (Ma Su) is already my military strategy. This time he took Changsha, he also came up with many good ideas and was a talent for being a staff officer. Others should be nothing."

Pang Tong closed his smile, frowned slightly, raised his eyelids and glanced at Cao Chong, and said slowly: "What will the general do to deal with Kong Ming?"

Cao Chong was prepared for a long time. When he received an urgent case from Pang Tong, he began to consider this issue when he knew that Zhuge Liang was captured. This was a great celebrity. Of course, he wanted to take it back to his tent, but he did not expect that as soon as he met Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang refused his invitation and asked to return to Longzhong to farm.

"I wanted to ask him to help me with work, but he said he wanted to go back to farm. I had no choice but to fulfill his ambition." Cao Chong shrugged and spread his hands.

Pang Tong smiled with a "punch" and twisted his chin and said, "The general invited him lightly, without any sincerity. Can Kong Ming be willing? The general is not unaware of the fact that Liu Bei was still an emperor uncle at the time, so he went to Longzhong three times to invite him. The general has always been eager to see the wise, but he doesn't even give Kong Ming this little face?"
